How to paint exterior rendered walls?

I’ve fixed all cracks and rendered the house and now the front and back or the house as well as 4 decks have rendered patches.

Can i successfully paint these patches without painting the whole house?

I am going to sell my house in 2 weeks so need to try and blend a paint that will work to cover all these patches.

I am not confident I can do this myself! How do I find a good painter who can do these patches?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @mgunsberger. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about painting repaired render.

You could certainly paint the repaired areas, but it's unlikely that you'll be able to replicate the existing paint. The new, unblemished paint will look pristine compared to the aged paint next to it, though it would certainly look better than the exposed filler. You'd really need to paint the whole section of the wall for a convincing look.

A skilled painter might be able to feather the paint in to make the repaired sections less noticeable. I suggest looking towards services like Airtasker and hipages to enlist the services of a professional painter.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much!

I'm heading to Bunnings today and going to try one patch myself so I can let a painter know what works. I have not found a good painter on HioPages yet, had a few come over.

What paint should I be buying to try and start with one patch?

A good quality exterior paint such as Dulux Weathershield in a matt finish would be the way to go, @mgunsberger. You'll also need to colour-match the wall. It might be worth picking up a few colour sample cards and checking them against the wall to get the closest paint match.
